Dunure Castle

Today Dunure Castle sits as a ruin in the North of Carrick, however, it was once the main fortress of the Earls of Cassils, the Kennedy Family. The building which originates back to the 1200’s is steeped in both family and national history. It is even said that Mary Queen of Scots once stayed at the castle.

Though today the family is more closely related to Dunure’s impressive neighbour, Culzean Castle, it was once the more important.
